SM-47 SUPER MACHETE

SM-47 SUPER MACHETE AIRCRAFT OVERVIEW


The SM-47 SUPER MACHETE is a highly maneuverable, supersonic Light Strike Fighter (LSF) derived from the SM-27J/L Turbofan Machete. The most significant evolution of the Machete series, the Super Machete marries a Turbofan Machete derivative fuselage to a Forward Swept Wing (FSW) augmented by custom canard foreplanes and a distinctive empennage and an engine bay which accommodates a 22,000 to 25,000 static thrust class turbofan. Presenting greater capabilities than the standard turbofan Machete, the SM-47 is oriented toward fulfilling both Fighter, Attack and Advanced Pilot Trainer roles.
